I'm sad because I was enjoying this season. Not even in a i'm bitter my favorite left and I don't want to watch anymore because of that, but I was TOO invested in Phoebe and her going just EVAPORATED my desire to watch anymore. Kind of like how I stopped watching BB18. And I'm also not even excited for the new season of USA Survivor. OR ORGS. What is happening to me?!?!? SHIT I'M CHANGING.
You know what? I'm fine with how this episode went completely. Phoebe overplayed things with the Kristie stuff, should've gone twice if you think about it, and I've always kind of preferred Kristie over Phoebe a lot more anyway. Also, the Kate/Conner thing is sweet and I hope it works out for them.
Okay so....I fricking love Australian Survivor. Did Production not think this whole hand-picked tribe thing through because Vavau got fucked over bc of that lol. Kate and Conner are so cute plz let them get far. Kinda sad that Phoebe got voted out because I would've LOVED to see her in action during the merge, she was incredible! I have mixed feelings about Nick, I love that he's playing hard but also he's gotta let Day 12 go lmao, tunnel vision is no good Nick!!
Let me start off by saying I don't even like Conner, but I find the Conner/Kate dynamic adorable. Just the juxtaposition between old Vavau whe Conner first swapped to Vavau and Kate opened up to Conner/Sam, but they were never really able to DO anything to work together because of Kate not wanting to screw over the majority Vavau alliance (and really not even being able to), compared to now how they're running the tribe and giving each other little pockets of trust or whatever.
Meanwhile I'm kind of getting bored of Sunaapu. Nothing is really happening and I don't feel that connected to anyone on that tribe. The only person I can pull for over there i JL.
Oh and as Phoebe/Kristie go... I've been pulling for Phoebe since Kat left, but I'm glad Kristie stayed because I do think Phoebe started unnecessarily scheming against Kristie. Like, Kristie was going anyway and Phoebs still wanted to blatantly lie and whatnot. Why not just say "hopefully we can get Conner" or w/e. Idk I guess it's different when you're actually out there but still. I guess the editing with Phoebe's confessionals where she was bragging about how she was in control and tore Vavau apart from the bottom up, etc. made her story arc pretty complete and I was ready for her to go. It's like what they kind of did for Andrew.
I hope merge is fun and I don't wanna see the blue tribe pick everyone else off. Hopefully Kate/Conner/Kristie can pull in like JL/Sue/Elle/Lee/Sammy or something
I don't at all think that the blue tribe will stick together come merge. Flick and Brooke don't trust Matt, Nick isn't really in with any of them, El and Lee will probably get Kristie on their side... I think there's a lot that can happen.
It's getting hard for me to root for JL still. I don't know what she's doing and why she is invisible/sticking w/ people who she doesnt seem to be in with. Kate deserved better and jury at least ugh it's getting painful to watch. Praying for a switchup in dynamics soon.
meh loved this season so much to start with but i'm done with it now. just been disappointment after disappointment and 3 deserving people in a row have been robbed of jury. seeing kate leave made me literally CRY!!!! and there is just no hope left honestly so i won't be watching anymore. i'd really like to know why the fuck nick is getting a relatively positive edit when he sucks. i just hate everything right now
if Kristie gets voted out I lose all interest in watching the show, because then it's simply gonna be the Flick, Brooke, El show to the end. so annoyed that all the AS players that could be giving 3 girls a run for their money got fucked over.
I feel kinda bad for Nick this episode, since other than a little bit of that spontaneously looking for the HII thing (which wasn't even that bad/hard to understand), the hate-on everybody's had for him seems pretty unfounded. At least, from what the episodes have shown us. I know the Nick/Sue situation might have made it difficult, but it would've been better had they tried to go after one of Flick/Brooke/Matt (even if Matt pretty much didn't seem to exist at all this episode) instead. Or hell, legitimately tried to work with Nick, instead of against him. Nick probably should let that Day 12 thing go though, even if it's clear it bugs him.
